Description Erik Moeller 2004-12-15 04:23:16 UTC
The upload form should have a "Save as:" box which would default to the name of
the selected file. For security and usability reasons, it should NOT be possible
to change the extension.

Upload file: [Bla.jpg                 ] [ Browse ] 
Save as:     [Sunrise in Turin        ].jpg

The "Save as" could be set with a JavaScript after a file is selected. If no JS
is available or the field is left blank for another reasons, the normal filename
would be used.

Rationale: People often upload files from local collections that do not follow
naming conventions. This makes it easier for them to do so.
Comment 1 Erik Moeller 2005-04-16 17:38:32 UTC
Fixed by Tim Starling as "Destination filename" field
Comment 2 Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason 2005-04-16 17:42:56 UTC
It was only applied to HEAD, added the 'fixed-in-cvs' keyword.
